C63 Color Match Reflectors

Need to pick up a set of front color matched refectors pretty quick here as I am having paint protection put on early next week. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Goto expresspaint.com. You can get your paint code in a rattle can spray. Just sand down your reflectors with any grit, clean them off really well, put 4 'light to medium' coats, don't try to get full coverage until 2nd or 3rd coat. Then get a rattle can clear coat from any pepboys and put on another 3 or 4 'light' coats. It comes out nice. You can color match any other piece of scrap plastic to know when the right amount of paint is needed too.

Wow I will check this out! The reflectors are small enough where blemishes in the paintwork wont even be noticeable. Thanks for the info!!

Got my stuff from ExpressPaint today! Did a test spray on a piece of plastic and color match looks spot on. Can't wait to do them this weekend.
